Marigold Gigantea Orange Sunset (Bodger) 
O UTSTANDING in three very important characteristics, we present Orange 
Sunset as the foremost Marigold variety of the year. The flowers, which 
average 5 inches and over in diameter as grown in the fields, are unquestion¬ 
ably the last word in the attainment of size. Quite naturally a flower of these 
dimensions is one of the showiest and most colorful garden subjects. Add to 
these attributes of size and showiness their delightful sweet fragrance, and you 
have a combination hard to resist. Like its parent variety, Sunset Giants, Mari¬ 
gold Orange Sunset has flowers that are loosely formed, very full centered, with 
broad, heavy wavy petals which gracefully overlap to make a flower ideal not 
only for garden decoration but for cut flower use as well. The color is a deep 
rich, lively orange, one of the most admired shades found in the Sunset Giants 
Mixture. The plants are strong growing, upright branching in habit, usually 
about 3 feet tall, producing a heavy growth of foliage, and with 6 to 8 heavy 
branches, each bearing 3 to 6 large flowers. Blooming commences about the 
first of August in most sections of the country, in late lune in the southern states, 
and flowers can be depended on well before frost in any latitude. Orange Sun¬ 
set has been tested and found to be a fine forcer in the greenhouse, and will 
come over 65 % double.
